I was video-calling my sister in California last Tuesday when her 7-year-old son Liam burst into the frame, waving a purple crayon drawing of what looked like an elephant with wings. ‘Auntie! Look what Harold can do!’ he shouted, his voice crackling through the unstable connection. The drawing was smudged at the edges where his sweaty little hands had gripped it too tight.
My sister explained they’d just watched the American version of ‘The Magic Brush’ – or as it’s called here, ‘The Purple Crayon Adventures.’ Liam had been so captivated that he’d used up an entire box of crayons trying to recreate the movie’s magic. ‘He keeps trying to draw himself a pet dinosaur,’ she laughed, ‘but all he’s managed so far is a lopsided turtle.’
The timing was perfect – or so I thought. I’d been meaning to watch this movie myself after seeing the trailer everywhere. The animation looked stunning, with those deep ocean scenes that made you feel like you could reach out and touch the glowing jellyfish. But when I opened my streaming apps here in China, nothing. Just that frustrating ‘content not available in your region’ message that overseas friends complain about all the time.
It’s funny how technology works – my nephew in San Francisco could watch it perfectly, while I, sitting in the city where the original ‘神笔马良’ story was born, couldn’t access this new interpretation. The irony wasn’t lost on me as Liam described scenes I could only imagine: ‘And then Harold drew a whole forest, auntie! With talking squirrels and everything!’
This isn’t just about one movie, either. Last month, my cousin in Toronto missed the entire season finale of that cooking competition show everyone was talking about. She ended up watching grainy clips on social media, the audio out of sync and subtitles covering half the screen. ‘It’s like trying to enjoy a gourmet meal through a keyhole,’ she’d complained.
Back to Liam – he’s now determined to master ‘the magic crayon technique.’ His latest masterpiece? A rather ambitious drawing of our entire family having a picnic on a rainbow. The purple crayon is nearly worn down to a nub, and there’s waxy smudges all over their kitchen table. But the pure joy in his voice when he describes Harold’s adventures? That’s the real magic no regional restriction can block.
So here I am, living in the homeland of the original magical brush story, living vicariously through my nephew’s animated retellings three time zones away. Maybe someday soon we’ll all be able to share these stories without digital borders. Until then, I’ll keep collecting Liam’s crayon artworks – they’re becoming quite the collection.
